Greenlandic PM condemns US "condescending and divisive aim"

Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen on Monday condemned the United States for its "condescending and divisive aim" toward Greenland.

In a statement released ahead of an emergency session of the Inatsisartut, Greenland's parliament, Nielsen also reiterated that continued U.S. pressure on Greenland is "unacceptable."

Greenland has faced a difficult situation over the past 14 months, the prime minister said, citing repeated U.S. statements, including recent ones, regarding its intention to acquire Greenland.

While the possibility of a military takeover has recently been disavowed, the United States continues to seek Greenland's attachment to and governance by the United States, he said.

Nielsen pointed out that such rhetoric comes not only from U.S. President Donald Trump but also from other key U.S. decision-makers and close allies, adding that they have a "condescending and divisive aim" toward Greenland and its people.

In response, the government of Greenland has declared these attempts "unacceptable" and reiterated that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, he said.

Nielsen also noted that despite the tense situation, Greenland has begun a dialogue with the United States through high-level official channels, and his government will work to turn the talks into "concrete results."

Greenland, the world's largest island, is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with Copenhagen retaining control over defense and foreign policy. Since returning to office in 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to "obtain" Greenland, a move that has been repeatedly rejected by Europe.

The standards system will cover the entire industrial chain, including low-altitude aircraft, infrastructure, air traffic management, safety supervision and application scenarios.

China's low-altitude economy has entered a period of accelerated industrialization, forming a complete industrial ecosystem that spans technological R&D, equipment manufacturing, operations services and infrastructure construction.
